Don’t forget, tonight’s the first First Friday at the NHM! (Metro Expo Line to Expo Park/USC)

This weekend is your last chance to catch “Trolls Stole the North Pole” at Secret Rose Theatre. The fun children’s musical goes on at 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $12. (Metro Red Line to North Hollywood Station, walk one block south on Lankershim Blvd. or Metro Bus 183 to Magnolia/Lankershim)

On Sunday, visit the Japanese American National Museum for the Oshogatsu Family Festival. There will be special prize drawings, fun origami booths, rice tastings, onigiri rice ball making contests and more. The festival lasts from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to attend. (Metro Gold Line to Little Tokyo/Arts District Station, Metro Bus 30/40 to Judge John Aiso/1st)

I was trying to “Go Metro” with a friend. We both have TAP cards. He tried to replenish is TAP card on the website and it won’t recognize his number, even though it’s a valid card. Customer service is closed so now we have to go back to dollars and quarters. Why is something that should be so easy such an ordeal? Why is the website such a buggy mess? This is why people don’t use public transportation!
